Moderate New User Registrations (ModCP Option)
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack can only be used by Super Administrators, Administrators and Super Moderators. What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr] This is an update to my 3.7.x version of this hack, with the addition of being able to ban members too (this new feature has NOT been included by Jelsoft in the standard vBulletin AdminCP moderate user functionality). This hack was created because I liked the idea of the request in this thread, and seems to have been requested quite a few times over the years. Do you have a spam problem and have resorted to manual user registration? If so, have you noticed that it is so tedious and wish you could spread the love by getting other people to do this for you, but not give them AdminCP access? If the answer is yes to both questions, then this hack is for you. This is a hack gives your Super Moderators (and Administrators) the option in the ModCP to now manually approve new user registrations, that before now only Administrators could do from the AdminCP. This means you can now spread the load of manually approving users with your Super Moderators, leaving you the administrator more time to do other things. A notification in your welcome block in the navbar is displayed (if the notification option is enabled in the AdminCP) when there are new user registrations to be moderated. This is displayed to both Administrators and Super Moderators. The notification will only generate 1 extra query per page load (only if the notification is enabled, and then the extra query is only for Administrators and Super Moderators, so if you want to save a query then disable the option). As this has been asked for a few times over the last couple of versions of this hack, all users being moderated by Super Moderators are now set to Ignore by default, so undesirable users are not accepted by accident. Also included in this hack, if enabled and a ban usergroup is selected in the AdminCP Options, is the ability to ban users and emailing them to let them know, instead of just deleting them (this new feature has NOT been included by Jelsoft in the standard vBulletin AdminCP moderate user functionality), as it has also been requested before. So, if the ban feature is enabled, then Administrators clicking the notification link to moderate new registrations will be taken to the ModCP version (this hack) instead. There is also an AdminCP Option to enable logging of user moderation to the Moderator's log. What Do You Get? With all features enabled in this hack, when there is a notification on the navbar that there are new user(s) to moderate, Super Moderators and Administrators can do the following for each individual moderated user:
vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr] This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 3.7.0 - 3.8.8. This hack is not compatible with v3.6.x (due to fact that notifications in the welcome block were not introduced until v3.7.0), but fear not, you can use the unsupported v3.6.x version of this hack instead. For the v4.0.x version of this hack - check here. Hack Support/Feature Requests[hr]hr[/hr] IMPORTANT: This hack is no longer supported. Branding[hr]hr[/hr] There is a small unobtrusive block of copyright branding text at the bottom of each page generated by this hack, which is there to promote my work and allow you to use this hack for free. You are NOT allowed to remove my copyright branding from this hack. Install/Uninstall Instructions[hr]hr[/hr] There are no file or template changes at all and is fully phrased. You just need to upload 1 file, import 1 product and alter the correct vBulletin Options in the AdminCP, and then it will work from then on. The InstallInstructions.txt instructions file is included in attached .zip file. Screenshots[hr]hr[/hr] Shown in this order:

This does not automatically ban a user, someone has to select Ban or Ban All when using this tool, as it is set to Ignore for each user as default. So, this is going to be user error, and not an error with this hack.

Is there anyway to make the option appear in the ModCP WITHOUT turning on the "Moderate New Members" option??
The reason being is I have another mod to let through all white listed IP's using this mod: Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=198440 This works well, local stuff goes through, but the moderation rights are not given to SuperMods unless I flip the above switch to make ALL new registrations require moderation. So I either have work for Admin (which I don't want) or lots of work for Super Mods (which I would also like to avoid). edit: I also love the ban option in this mod since if I simply delete spammers they get to reuse the same email address, banning stops that. |

Update:
Seems that editing the xml install file and the user_moderation.php file removing the references to $vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] means this little hack doesn't check to see if the moderate new members flag is on, but still checks everything else and still only allows supermods access. (which is exactly what I want). Is there any downside that I'm missing here? |

I appreciate that, it's only a minor change to switch it back if needed, but so far in testing it's looking pretty good.

Sorry it has taken so long to answer, but have just come back off vacation
280 other sites do not have a problem with this hack showing in the ModCP, so it must be a problem just local to your site. Can you elaborate further as to the steps you took to install this hack, including vBulletin version you are trying to install this on? As you have not provided any info that will allow me to help you. |

Hi all,
It is with regret that after over 4 years (and thousands of hours) spent providing free support for my free hacks released here, as of today I will no longer be able to provide support for free. This is due to being unemployed for a while, being strapped for cash and unable to rely on the virtually non-existent donations from here to help to pay the bills or put food on the table for my family. I am now providing all support for my free hacks released here over at Wolfshead Solutions via an annual support subscription (for a small fee). It does not mean I will be no longer release free hacks, I will, but I will just no longer be supporting them for free. My free hacks have and always will remain free to download and use. And so will updates/bug fixes. I will be releasing more free hacks, but if you require any support at all for those free hacks, you will need to purchase an annual support subscription over at Wolfshead Solutions to receive support. I am really sorry I have to do this, but revenue generated by my programming gigs are now my only source of income, and I can no longer afford the luxury of providing free support here, when that time can be spent creating new commercial products, doing paid work requests or providing paid support to pay the bills. Thank you for the understanding. Regards, Mosh. |
